Hello, I wanted to calculate free space in my unix file system. Here is my direction. I can use df -h command to get the below output.
In each file system, in the AVAIL column, i need to minus 10% and find the grand total. That will be the free space in my server..
How do i do this? I thought of moving this whole output to excel file and deduct 10% from Avail column. But i am not able to move the unix output to excel with correct format.

Hi all,
Does unix ever misreport free space? We're having a problem running a utility, and the error message looks for all the world like the utility has no free space for its work files:
HOST ERROR(D10681C). No space left on device.
But the device itself shows ample free space.

I need to display the amount space avalible on a unix server in an html webpage, which will automatically update every hour. I am able to do so using a javascript in a windows based server. How would i go about doing this in a unix server. Any help, suggestions, anything would be great. thanks. (3 Replies)
Good afternoon! Im new at scripting and Im trying to write a script to
calculate total space, total used space and total free space in filesystem names matching a keyword (in this one we will use keyword virginia). Please dont be mean or harsh, like I said Im new and trying my best. Scripting... (4 Replies)
hi guys, me again ;)
i recently opened a thread about physical to zone migration.
My zone is mounted over a "bigger" LUN (500GB) and step is now to move the old files, from the physical server, to my zone.
We are talking about 22mio of files.
i used rsync to do that and every time at... (8 Replies)
Hi,
I run Fedora 17.
I created a physical volume of 30GB on a disk with 60GB of space so there is 30GB of free space. On the physical volume, I created my volume group and logical volumes. I assigned all the space in the physical volume to my volume group. I need to add the 30GB of free space... (1 Reply)

df_ufs
df_ufs(1M) System Administration Commands df_ufs(1M)NAME
df_ufs - report free disk space on ufs file systems
SYNOPSIS
df -F ufs [generic_options] [-o i] [directory | special]
DESCRIPTION
df displays the amount of disk space occupied by ufs file systems, the amount of used and available space, and how much of the file sys-
tem's total capacity has been used.The amount of space reported as used and available is less than the amount of space in the file system;
this is because the system reserves a fraction of the space in the file system to allow its file system allocation routines to work well.
The amount reserved is typically about 10%; this can be adjusted using tunefs(1M). When all the space on the file system except for this
reserve is in use, only the superuser can allocate new files and data blocks to existing files. When the file system is overallocated in
this way, df might report that the file system is more than 100% utilized.If neither directory nor special is specified, df displays infor-
mation for all mounted ufs file systems.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
generic_options Options supported by the generic df command. See df(1M) for a description of these options.
-o Specify ufs file system specific options. The available option is:
i Report the number of used and free inodes. This option can not be used with generic_options.
FILES
/etc/mnttab list of file systems currently mounted

NOTES
df calculates its results differently for mounted and unmounted file systems. For unmounted systems, the numbers reflect the 10% reserva-
tion. This reservation is not reflected in df output for mounted file systems. For this reason, the available space reported by the generic
command can differ from the available space reported by this module.
df might report remaining capacity even though syslog warns filesystem full. This issue can occur because df only uses the available frag-
ment count to calculate available space, but the file system requires contiguous sets of fragments for most allocations.
If you suspect that you have exhausted contiguous fragments on your file system, you can use the fstyp(1M) utility with the -v option. In
the fstyp output, look at the nbfree (number of blocks free) and nffree (number of fragments free) fields. On unmounted filesystems, you
can use fsck(1M) and observe the last line of output, which reports, among other items, the number of fragments and the degree of fragmen-
tation. See fsck(1M).
